The remains of four U.S. Marines who were killed when their Osprey aircraft crashed in a Norwegian town in the Arctic Circle during a NATO exercise were returned to the United States Friday. The cause is under investigation, but Norwegian police have reported bad weather in the area at the time of the crash.

The Marines, assigned to 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, II Marine Expeditionary Force, were taking part in a NATO exercise called Cold Response. The aircraft was an MV-22B Osprey. The plane crashed in Graetaedalen in Beiarn, south of Bodoe. The exercises began on March 14 and end on April 1.
